Building on the two companies’ existing relationship, ‘As One’ will help channel partners sell an integrated Windows 11 and device solution to their customers, enabling secure and straightforward upgrades to the lates Microsoft operating system.
Windows 11 offers enhanced performance and security for users working from anywhere and latest features, such as Focus, help to minimise distractions. Solutions available through the programme include Productivity and Collaboration, Security, Sustainability, End Point Management, Accessibility, Diversity and Inclusion, and Infrastructure.
In a statement announcing the partnership, Lenovo said that ‘As One’ builds on both companies’ strengths and will make it easier for channel partners to offer a complete software and hardware service as businesses adapt to hybrid working.
As longstanding channel partners, Lenovo recently signed Microsoft’s Partner Pledge to show its commitment to championing technology talent, enhancing diversity and inclusion and creating a more sustainable future.
“Our strategy has always been channel-first, and this next phase in our relationship with Microsoft is another example of how we are constantly innovating to offer new opportunities to the channel,” said Natalie Noor, UK and Ireland channel director, Lenovo.
““With an integrated service, we can deliver more for our partners and help more businesses benefit from high performance devices backed with the best that Windows has to offer.”
Anjana Srinivasan, device partner solution sales lead at Microsoft UK commented: “Windows 11 is the most secure Windows operating system yet and, integrated with Lenovo’s devices, is designed to give a great experience, no matter where or how people want to work.
“With many Lenovo devices available to bring Windows 11 to life, this relationship will help the channel give more choice to their customers.”
